    Konami is Konami and Konami is the worst. F*ck Konami. F*ck Konami. Yet another corporate rape on a great franchise.

    Lets be real. This game is no better than a game youd download on your phone for $3.99

    I have to say i had somefun with this game. Dont really understand why so many hate it. I have been a Contra fan for so long. Yea there is some tech problems and some minor bugs but its still a blast. Try it out for yourself before u read the hate.

    Great game that combines all the best things from all other Contra, multiple characters with unique weapons like hard corps, run n gun action with multiple points of view like contra legacy of war and C the contra adventure and of course you have the aliens, mutants and other aberrations just like shattered soldier except not that disgusting , Nakazano the original producer of the ContraGreat game that combines all the best things from all other Contra, multiple characters with unique weapons like hard corps, run n gun action with multiple points of view like contra legacy of war and C the contra adventure and of course you have the aliens, mutants and other aberrations just like shattered soldier except not that disgusting , Nakazano the original producer of the Contra Series really outdone himself this is the real Contra EVOLUTION, please give it a try at least before judging im sure if you look beyond the nostalgia googles of the classic side scroller contra games you ll see an amazing game… Expand

    If you stick with it and figure out the mechanics of the game it gets good. You just have to ignore the the negative talk surrounding the game and maybe look past the blurry graphics. It will become quite a satisfying gaming experience.

    Buen juego si bien es cierto que no obedece a lo que es la escencia de contra, la verdad es que está más que bien

    Pretty great! The shirtless man smokes in it. Konami's comeback is in full swing.

    It’s great to see some regular users positive reviews.
    I didn’t buy the game yet pending reviews.
    Although I thought the demo was very good.
    The critics are very picky and don’t see the consumers view on the game.

    This is a great game, the level of the level is at its peak, IGN is too garbage, think about the "Hand of God"

    It's a normal game, it's still the same Contra we love, but the graphics are terrible! online broken! a lot of indie game studios look much better than the Konami game!!! Konami is not mobile gaming, it's consoles!
    No pause in the game!!! what were you thinking about?

    Très addictif dès le début du jeu grâce à son gameplay précis et vif, aidé par un frame-rate fluide et sans faille tout au long du jeu, une histoire joliment mise en image façon comics, et un bestiaire relativement varié, Contra est un excellent divertissement! Je l'ai fini en mode solo et je peux vous dire qu'il est vraiment difficile dans les niveaux supérieurs, mais que cette difficulté est très progressive, certains niveaux fourmillent d'ennemis présents simultanément à l'écran, un vrai défouloir!
    Les graphismes sont parfois grossiers mais il y a des passages plutôt agréables à l'oeil, toujours dans l'optique de conserver un frame-rate stable pour la Switch, chose assez rare dans sa ludothèque.
    Les bruitages sont très bons mais la musique est largement en retrait, anecdotique.
    Un gros bémol sur la gestion des équipements et de leur amélioration, je trouve l'interface hyper compliquée et on ne gagne pas du tout assez d'argent dans les niveaux pour pouvoir acheter ou faire évoluer son arsenal. La seule solution: vendre en masse les items récoltés, bien qu'on en ait besoin pour justement augmenter la puissance de ses armes, très bizarre, mais bon on s'en sort dans les grandes lignes.
    Je recommande!    … Expand

    I mean, why so much negative reviews agains the game!? I mean it sure feels like Konami didn’t invest that much in the game, but it is fun AF and the customization depth and game modes are pretty amazing…you can buy it at a very low price nowadays so don’t be afraid and get it!

    For all its perplexing, strange and sometimes outright defiant design decisions, I still had fun playing it. And that's what matters most, right? [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 13SH]

    There’s an earnestness to Rogue Corps that makes it even sadder to see the game fail as it has. There have been updates since the game launched, but nothing thus far has been able to elevate Rogue Corps to the standard of quality set by past series installments. If Konami wants to modernize its franchises for future generations, the message should be clear: fans want what made those classics so endearing to begin with, not misguided radical redesigns.

    Contra Rogue Corps marks the return of the Contra series and its premiere on the Nintendo Switch. That should be a reason to generate enthusiasm, instead the result is a botched attempt at bringing one of the most iconic 2D shoot'em-up series to our age. With its frustrating and clumsy gameplay, technically inferior performance and limited multiplayer experience, the Contra series did not deserve an attempt that cannot be compared to the classics bearing its name.
